BENEDICTION. A Eucharistic devotion approved by the Church for certain occasions and under certain conditions; it consists in the benediction (blessing) of the people with the sacred Host (usually contained in a monstrance, a vessel constructed of precious metals in such a way that the consecrated Host is clearly visible). The blessing is to be preceded by readings from the Word of God, hymns, prayers, and a suitable time for silent adoration. Its purpose is to highlight the marvelous presence of Christ in the Eucharist.
